As below.

Standard form of a cosine function is $y = A cos (Bx - C) + D$

$"Given : " y = -5 cos 6x$

$A = -5, B = 6, C = D = 0$

$"Amplitude " = |A| = |-5| = 5$

$"Period " = (2 pi) / |B| = (2 pi) / 6 = pi/3$

$"Phase Shift " = -C / B = 0$

$"Vertical Shift ' = D = 0$

graph{-5 cos(6x) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
